Extra chassis work ala SV?Interior?Vented rotors?CV joints?Where to stop?I suppose as much as I can afford.:-) Or....you could just restore the car the less expensive way and see if you enjoy it any less. Hard decisions, I know, with the urge to upgrade battling the cost thereof. I"d probably just stick with the reliability issues myself - the split sump seems a particularly good idea, but the rest of it I"d probably pass on. Especially the mods for more power, as I would doubt that a few more bhp up in a range the engine might never see would be a good trade for the thousands of bucks it would cost to do. Bill
